I engine swapped my ranger using a 2000 explorer 5.0. All wire harness and components are from explorer. The speedo and cruise are not working now and it shifts hard AF, all was good prior to removing stuff from the explorer. The abs does work so I would assume the rear sensor is functioning...

I can find threads all day about ABS light staying on, but why would my ABS light not come on when turning the key on? The only major change is the weather got warm, so it's about 60 in the morning here instead of 40. The ABS light doesn't come on during the key-on sequence in the morning...

I got a new stereo deck installed when I bought the car, and after that when I start my car sometimes my ABS light will go on and sometimes it won't. The owners manual said that it could be due to recent electric work such as a new stereo deck. Do y'all have any suggestions for this? I don't...

This is on a 2003 Explorer XLT AWD 4.0L Whenever refueling the tank when near to empty (under 1/4 tank), the gauge will sit right where it was, even if filling the tank. Then about 5-10 minutes into driving, it will drop to empty and appear as if the gauge isn't working at all, the check gauge...

Hey everyone, I'm new here kinda. I've been lurking and learning for the past year or so ever since I got my 92 Explorer with a blown head gasket and rebuilt it. I've found a few threads about this issue but they're older and I didn't want to resurrect an old thread. I finally purchased new...

'93 Explorer XLT. Replaced the master cylinder and brake booster, and pedal goes to the floor. No leaks, no fluid lost. I suspect the bypass valve in the ABS pump is bad. (?) No way to determine. Can I just replace the ABS system with a normal proportioning valve and have a non-ABS system...
